Bus-Related Accidents in New York City
Public transit systems like the MTA bus network are vital to New York City, but collisions involving buses can result in significant injuries due to their size and capacity. Crowded urban areas, such as Washington Heights, often see higher risks of such incidents due to heavy traffic, pedestrian activity, and narrow streets.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a bus-related collision, seeking immediate medical care and documenting the scene are essential steps. Consulting with professionals can help address potential insurance claims and legal concerns.
